Steam overlay doesn't seem to work with Prince of Persia '08, nor does Steam seem to be tracking my playtime. Not a big deal but kind of annoying since I'd like to be able to take some screenshots. Guess I'll have to look into fraps.
My 2TB Game drive finally past the point where it has over 1TB Full.SneakyStephan said:

How can we determine our real worth when we have game count, total hard drive space taken up, and account worth? So many factors to compare!

backup files to external disk, restore when you want to play them.

Steam Backup to an external or disk. Bam, backup and/or physical copy, no bandwidth taken.
And installed from the backup takes just a few minutes. You can even group games in together and only install specific ones if you'd like.
Now if only Steam allowed you to install games to different directories..

I think ideally you're going to want a 2TB external HDD just for Steam.Sober said:

Wouldn't be the best place to start. At most mildly funny with strange and boring puzzles. I admit I have only played the two first episodes of the first season but wasn't impressed. Better off trying Beneath the Steel Sky, which is free to download. Old game but still enjoyable to this day.

Based on that, you shouldn´t hand out recommendations of not buying the games to other people really. Not that I´m saying that you aren´t allowed, but you really have to played too little of the games. I understand if you choose not to buy them, but this is something else. Eller hur?
Anyway, the first episodes are nowhere near the best ones in the first two seasons, and The Devil's Playhouse is just several classes better than any of the episodes of the first two seaons.
One the best episodes of the first two seasons, S01E04, is free on Steam, and those interested should play that one. And even if you don´t like it, you should still have a look at The Devil's Playhouse.

You can alt-tab in and out of the game no problem. I tried re-running the launcher in the background after I was already in-game for a bit but that didn't seem to make a difference. I've played through the tutorial (part of it twice now because the save system is a bit odd), made it to the first real "level" and currently it only shows me playing the game for one minute. Like I said, I think I'll just look into installing fraps for the screenshot function, it's probably what I should be using anyways but the lack of playtime tracking is kind of annoying.
It's a pretty stunning game though, I really love the aesthetic they went for in this game, pity they abandoned it so quickly.

I got a question about the Steam Backup Feature. First what is better to use a disk or external hdd? Also can i back up any of my games or is it specific to certain games? And last how much faster is it compared to re downloading it? Do you just install the game?

I'm not into collecting hats and stuff in TF2 but I'd love to have the Sam & Max items because I'm a big fan of them. Ah well.

Opinions/descriptions of Uplink?
I've looked at it a few times in Steam before and have been interested, but it hasn't been on sale (that I've seen) before now.
Sell me on this game.

I tried it and it's interesting. I'll buy it for such a low price.

I used to use the backup feature - now I just go into my Steam folder and copy a particular game's folder onto my network drive, and copy it back into Steam when I want to play it again. You may have to restart Steam to get it to see the files, though.
I find the backup process takes forever and doesn't compress the game much either, but maybe I'm the only one who does it this way.

Is Settlers worth getting? I'm seeing lackluster reviews on the internet, not that I'm one to follow reviews.
RadicalRad said:
As far as I researched, the bad reviews come not from the game but from what is the worst DRM ever designed by the evil in the human soul. You need to stay online at all times in order to play even the single player portion of the game.
I almost didn't bought because of this, not that I think it will screw me that much, but I'm sure it will screw me eventually and giving money to that horrible practice makes me feel dirty.
As the game itself, seems like an excellent city-builder with a medieval theme; some reviewers complained about too much micromanagement.

Why is it your favorite? Dare I ask for a mini-review?Sinatar said:
One where it's compared to the greatness that is Settlers 2, if at all possible, my good chum.

No categories ruined it to begin with. It's awesome at first and as your collection expands, it gets bloated. Right now, I like putting on the grid every now and then because it's good looking and strangely satisfying but I don't consider it functionnal at all, even with a "small" collection (133 icons).SalsaShark said:First Terraria and now this..
this library view is ruined
Plus, I just noticed Tropico and Tropico 2 use the same picture in grid mod. :[
Danne-Danger said:
I'm not one for verbose reviews but they basically undid all the damage Settlers 4 - 6 did to the franchise and brought it back to it's roots. It plays like Settlers 2 but with gorgeous graphics and an even more in depth economical model.

Well then I'm sold! I tried 6 for a little bit but it didn't feel like Settlers to me, I thought 7 would be more of that, so that's the best news I've ever heard.Sinatar said:

I like that every sale now has a timer on the game's store page. No more guessing how long a sale is going to last.
